“ Good fast and easy. My favorite options for lunch! Edley's didn't disappoint. Will make sure I come back each time I'm in town. ”
“ We really enjoyed the food at Edley's. While I never judge BBQ too harshly, this is a fine addition to the Edwardsville area dining options. And... the bar had Four Hands brewing Fat Elvis in draft! ”
“ Went here again today. Brisket is amazing! Green beans are good also. The kids meal is only $4.50 and it was a nice sized sandwich. The service is always great. Everyone is efficient and friendly. The music is always good country music. Highly recommend this place. Rare I think the food is worth the money anymore but here, it is. ”
“ My first time trying Edley's was over five years ago in Nashville, Tennessee. I was super excited when the O'Fallon, Illinois location opened up! I've been to the O'Fallon location a couple times now, but I was in the Edwardsville area and decided to give this location a try. Once again, I'm very impressed. Edley's has never let me down! The interior was super clean and inviting. We placed our order at the counter, picked a table, and enjoyed our food in a very timely manner. They have an expansive menu, especially with their wide variety of sides. I absolutely love the bean salad and the mac and cheese for sides. My favorite entree is the turkey platter. When the employee brought my food out, he explained to me that he highly prioritizes the presentation of the food, and he apologized that my turkey wasn't looking exactly how he wanted it to because it kept falling apart as he arranged it. To be completely honest, I totally wouldn't have noticed any differences, but the fact that he was so personable and took the time to check in really meant a lot! I'm not a huge BBQ lover, but even I really enjoy Edley's. Even my partner who is from Kansas City and grew up with KC BBQ completely approves of this place! ”
“ Finally got to check this place out as it is still considered new in my town. Menu kind of seemed limited, and the bartender (who waited on me) said they were out of a lot of things. Even most sodas. But I know better to hold anything like that against a new independent business. I got the hot chicken platter with two sides. Went with the mac and cheese (which was I believe a dollar or two extra) and grits casserole. Portions seemed small, but I was still full when I walked out. Sandwich was pretty good. Would love to try some of their other meats. Be aware that they do not serve french fries of any kind...not even sweet potatoes. They heavily advertise their alcohol selection, mostly consisting of craft brews. I was kinda shocked they did not have non-Coke or Pepsi sodas there but everything can't be perfect. I'll be back in the future. ”
